The World Famous Tallboys - Lifer Lyrics



The World Famous Tallboys - Lifer Lyrics




They always say "someday, you think just like me"
When I give up, become a bitter old fool, how much older do I have to be?
I didn't ask to be here
I'm just another person in this world
I've no special place of privilege
So how much longer until?

All the fools at work and on my TV screen
Same shit I heard when I was 15
Don't know what I hate more
The bigotry or the lack of originality?
That's why I still love all my teenage dreams
Idealism over apathy
How anyone wants to live their life is fine with me

The older I get the more I see how full of shit old people are
I expected bullshit, I just expected new BS
"Damn kids these days and welfare queens"
"Everyone's free ride except for me"
Does it sound familiar you f*cking tool?
It's the shit your parents dumped on you

All the fools at work and on my TV screen
Same shit I heard when I was 15
Don't know what I hate more
The bigotry or the lack of originality?
That's why I still love all my teenage dreams
Idealism over apathy
How anyone wants to live their life is fine with me

Funny thing about your version of maturity
It crumbles under the weight of your pseudo-morality
Why does growing up mean giving up on everything that made me me?
You didn't sell out to the man, you sold out your humanity

All the fools at work and on my TV screen
Same shit I heard when I was 15
Don't know what I hate more
The bigotry or the lack of originality?
That's why I still love all my teenage dreams
Idealism over apathy
How anyone wants to live their life is fine with me

Just live your life
